Katie is survived by her husband, Brandon Savoie, and children, Brynn and Braylon Savoie; parents, Keith and Natalie Trahan Bergeron; sister, Bridget Matherne, and husband, Andre'; nieces, Bria Jane Matherne (godchild) and Kira Joan Matherne; maternal grandfather, Wilton "Buck" Trahan; godchildren, Gage Anthony Trahan and Landon Aucoin; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Katie was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Mary Jane LeBouef Trahan; paternal grandparents, Marilyn Brister Bergeron and Alfred Bergeron; and uncle, Barry Trahan.
Loving, caring, spiritual, selfless, beautiful, outgoing, inspirational, wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, who loved her family and serving her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Katie was loved by everyone who knew her. She had a contagious smile that could light up a room. Katie never met anyone who did not become her friend. She had a way of making everyone feel special. She never tired of helping others, even in her sickest days. In her free time, Katie loved photography, fishing, arts and crafts, and having fun with her family and friends. Katie's dream of living in New York became a reality for her this year, when she spent quality time exploring New York with her family and friends.
When Katie met Brandon, she realized a lifelong dream of becoming a wife and mother. She cherished that role and was an outstanding partner to Brandon and role model for her children. She graduated from Nicholls State University with a bachelor's degree in education.
For 10 years she taught in the Terrebonne Parish School System. She was awarded Teacher of the Year at West Park Elementary and Bourg Elementary schools. She was loved by all her students during her 10 years of teaching. She will be missed by all who knew her. Her spirit will live on through the lives she has touched.
The family would like to thank Dr. Sandford, Dr. Moti, Dr. McGaw, Dr. Sheena Duplantis, Dr. Nick Rau, Dr. Maronge, Kristi Creppel Hebert, M.P., Noami Russo Henry, R.T., and her special friend and physician, Dr. D.P. Schwab, the staff at Sloan Kettering Hospital and Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, Physician's Surgery Center, Terrebonne General Medical Center and Haydel Hospice for their continuous care throughout her hard-fought journey.

I just found out of Katie's passing . She brought so much to this world.I met her when I was a master teacher at West Park Elementary. She was an excellent teacher.I will always treasure these fleur de lis earrings she bought me after I admired her pair. I tried to pay her back . She said "oh girl they were just 5 dollars" She had such a way about her. To her family ,I offer you my deepest sympathy. Thank you Katie for all you've done . Your good work will live on in all the lives you have touched.

I never had the chance to meet Katie personally but I kept up with her on Facebook. You could tell her smile was contagious! What a pretty woman. My heart is heavy that she leaves behind her husband and 2 kids and family. God welcomed her with open arms. She is now a beautiful angel in heaven. No more pain and suffering. Will miss chatting with her on messenger.
